I want world leaders to choose books over bullets...We can afford to give every girl 12 years of free education. It is absolutely in our power, and when we do, we will realize a whole new world of possibility.

My family and I are heartbroken after hearing the news that more than 100 innocent children and teachers have lost their lives...

I am not against anyone. Neither am I here to speak in terms of personal revenge against the Taliban or any other terrorist group. I am here to speak for the right of education for every child. I want education for the sons and daughters of the Taliban and all the terrorists and extremists.

If you go anywhere, even paradise, you will miss your home.

Education is the only solution. Education first.

I am proud to be a girl, and I know that girls can change the world.

If you hit a Talib, then there would be no difference between you and the Talib. You must not treat others with cruelty. You must fight others through peace and through dialogue and through education.
